Knighthonor.4061 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Was thinking about how Staff improvement trait can be re added to the Salvation line and how I would prefer it work. The old Boons was ok, butone thing I would really like was a trait that reduced Staff energy cost while in Ventari.This way in combat I can use Staff skills in combat alongside Ventari tablet skills which is already very Energy cost heavy and sluggish with all the delays. Staff which complements Ventari and Salvation specialization also is very heavy on the energy of 45, with really only 3 ways to heal allies and support allies, and 2 defense/control abilities.Cooldown heavy weapon like most. But what if a trait made it so while in Ventari, the energy cost of Staff was reduced greatly, and when you swap to a different legend energy cost go back to normal for staff?The Regen and Swiftness aspect of this could be added back the the Healing orbs, when energy threshold is above 75%.This allows Ventari to get its regen back on the tablet when Revenant's conserve energy, and over time in the battle as energy depletes the regen would no longer be part of the equation. This creates a balance mechanic of healing method. Energy Conservation for HoT vs Burst Heals/Shields for immediate action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phokus.8934 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 The simplest solution? Greatsword.On the serious side I’m wondering if weapons should act a little differently depending on the legend you’re in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Za Shaloc.3908 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I wouldn't say energy cost on staff is the issue. IMO, staff falls way short as a support weapon because when it comes down to it, its primary role is utility and secondary roles are damage and support. Thus, we get a subpar support weapon because the staff has been balanced in too many different directions. It's kinda like Druid's staff too, although frankly Druid's staff is a hot kitten mess of design, whereas Revenant's is at the very least phenomenal at its utility role.

Would be helpful for support of the zerg if my Tablet is already out in the field doing what it does. Normally I am putting Tablet on commander front line which Is why most energy go into Tablet for Heals, Condition cleanse, CC and Projectile blocking. as Pterikdactyl.7630 said, Staff is a terrible support weapon for what it is but I would still like to be able to use the thing while playing support since its all I have for a support weapon as a Core revenant.
